An elegant 17th & 19th century chateau with its outbuildings, set in 20 hectares of unspoilt nature, on a hill in the Yonne department. On the edge of a forest, the property appears at the end of a hedge-lined driveway that leads into the grounds with the chateau and its parklands on one side and the farm buildings and orchards on the other. Perched on the top of a hill, the chateau dominates a bucolic landscape, defined by a vast expanse of meadows stretching towards the forest below. Some of the former outbuildings of the chateau no longer form part of the property, but the quality restoration work carried out on these buildings contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the property as a whole. The property extends over just over 20ha of parklands and meadows, which includes 1.8 hectares of land zoned for building.

A long tree-lined driveway leads to this property near Auxerre. Elevated on a moat-formed platform, it was built in the 16th century and later renovated in the 18th century. The estate comprises formal French gardens, wooded areas with centuries-old trees, streams, and ponds. No disturbances are to be noted. The four main buildings, including a fortified pavilion, encircle an elegant square courtyard. Three of them rise above the moat. The entrance to this courtyard is through a porch with traces of a drawbridge, which has withstood various restorations and remains a beautiful relic from the 16th century. It is protected by a large wrought-iron gate. The upscale restoration of the four buildings was done in keeping with the spirit of the place (stone, marble, tapestries, wallpapers from renowned houses) and the highest standards of modern comfort (internet, heat pumps combined with gas boilers, independent room and pavilion air conditioning). The four historic residences boast spacious reception rooms with beautiful fireplaces and bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, featuring refined sanitary elements that provide luxurious independence to each guest. The south facade of the main building opens onto the French gardens, accessible via a stone bridge over the moat. In the center of this extensive garden, a pond has been converted into a pool (heated by a heat pump) with water features and accompanied by a sauna. At the edge of the woods stands a small consecrated chapel. A meticulously cultivated orchard and extensive vegetable garden, designed for complete self-sufficiency, are irrigated by the abundant spring on the estate. At the property entrance, there are outbuildings converted into four accommodations (2 apartments and 2 studios) spread across two buildings restored in the 20th century, equipped with all modern conveniences. Each unit, perfectly isolated from the castle and its pavilions, enjoys complete privacy and private gardens. At the property entrance, an elegant secured garage has been designed to accommodate eight vehicles and provide maintenance facilities (car lift and resin flooring). In its center, there is a spacious exhibition area that will delight collectors of vintage models. The meticulously maintained property is fully secured with a video surveillance system.
